Virtue doesn’t always translate as good if it’s used to bully/mock/abuse/scorn/promote division It’s also in the eye of the beholder - someone’s virtue maybe radically different to yours.

Ok, so you're talking about bullying people who are perceived as unvirtuous, which is a very different thing from virtue in itself.

Disagree. Virtue is often used as a justification even if the ‘virtue’ is fake or not actually virtue

But that's not in disagreement with me. Yes, people sometimes use virtue as a justification for things that aren't actually virtue. That's entirely consistent with what I said. Virtue itself is good, but what people call virtue often isn't.
